Vasculitides are classified by the size, type and location of the predominantly
involved vessels and by their primary or secondary nature. Their treatment
depends on the type of vasculitis, its etiology (when known), and its severity
and must be further adjusted by the individual characteristics and comorbidities
of patients. In this paper, we review how the classification and definition of
vasculitides have evolved over the past years and how it has affected therapeutic
changes. As new genetic markers are being discovered and the pathogenesis of
vasculitides continues to be elucidated, further modifications in classification
and treatment can be expected.
